Best prices for coffee in town, also has indoor and outdoor seating. This is a new coffee shop in town, also has teas, beers/cider, pastries, and food trucks available. The store is brightly lit and super clean. The menu is simple, I ordered a 12oz iced lavender latte ($5.25) and a 12oz iced matcha latte ($5.00), great price for everyone. For the espresso shots my latte, you get to choose either dark or medium roast beans. I opted for the dark roast beans in my lavender latte which gave a bold flavor to my coffee. Matcha needs a bit more flavor, but still good. The orders came out quickly and the staff were friendly. Parking is limited onsite, but plenty of street parking available. Weekday happy hour ($5) from 4pm-6pm on taps. With many college students in Davis, there were plenty of chargers making this a great study spot. Definitely looking forward to coming again.

Lattes are top tier, great coffee, and the fact that they have beer available! Perfect while waiting for my car to get work done down the street. Cozy spot, quiet (until the train passes, but its a quick pass). Only complaint is the seats being uncomfortable, maybe get some cushions for people who want to grab and use one.

Nice little coffee shop on the edge of downtown. Very much catered towards the college students that live in the apartments nearby. Parking lot is quite tight and spaces are limited. No other close parking in the area. I ordered a shot of espresso and the drip coffee. I asked if they could do it as a pour-over and they indeed could. Nice! In general, I would say the espresso and pour-over were well-executed, but it was clear the beans were meant to be used in combination with a larger variety of ingredients, i.e. in one of their many flavored lattes. Very unassuming flavors and not very complex. Some interesting notes of caramel/brown sugar in the espresso, and again the shot was pulled well, but beyond that it didn’t interest me much. The pourover was pleasant but again unassuming and safe. I think this is a great shop for a college student looking to spend an afternoon caffeinated and studying , and the ambiance and reasonable prices reflect that. But for someone looking for a specialty coffee experience, you’ll have to look elsewhere. Service was great and welcoming.

We ordered the volt specialty tea. It was very unique, but would probably try the matcha next time! Staff was also friendly!

Davis’ newest coffee spot! I’m so exited for a new coffee choice!! First time visiting. Volt did not disappoint. Vanilla latte is always my go to when trying out a new place. They had a choice of medium and dark roast. I chose the dark. It was delicious!! A perfect balance of all flavors. Staff is wonderful. Choice of indoor and outdoor seating. The view of the beautiful and humongous cork oaks is superb. Guads food truck is there. We got breakfast burritos. And of course they were delicious. We will definitely be back and I will be recommending this coffee shop to everyone. They also offer a selection of beer if you so desire!

Cool vibe! As this place is just getting started, not everything is up and running yet. Coffee, tea, and beer are all going, along with pastries. Food trucks coming soon! Coffee and tea are served 7 am - 4 pm and beer after 4 pm. Friendly staff! Great location right off freeway, easy access. About 10 parking spots on site. Seating for about 35 indoors and can easily accommodate another 30-50 outside when it's not raining (patio is not covered).

The best tasting, least expensive coffee in Davis, hands down. The pastries are delicious, the food trucks are convenient, and overall the entire plaza is set up to be such a lively and bright social circle. It's a great place to work, but it does not have the same feeling of other coffee places where everyone inside is camping out in a booth for hours. It's way more sociable and relaxing. And, everyone who works there is super nice. Volt has been a godsend ever since they moved in. I give them my highest recommendation.
